If the new deep is completely empty, it is NOT a brood nest. It is empty. It is currently nothing.

Yeah, that is what I am thinking.

The super is on top the new box.

I would slowly disassemble the medium right in front of the hive.

Are you not telling him to disassemble the box that has the brood in? From his description, I envision a hive that consist of a medium (brood box) and a shallow honey super on top. I believe he claimed that he can't get the bees to move down into the deep so there is nothing there. Please correct me if I have this picture wrong.

You are right. The shallow honey super contains enough smells to attract them. Even an empty box that has been used has enough smell to attract them. Ten frames of honey definitely does.

If he didn't, he will next time. A person only makes that mistake once. :shock:
